Here's some of the rocks I've taken from the beaches on Block Island and stacked in my back yard north of Providence. I'm always restacking them, even in the winter - reminds me of the beach.
I stopped by the side of the road to photograph the January thaw . . . muddy fields, birds in flight, etc. As I stepped across the road to get a close-up of the field, I almost stepped on this deer track smack-dab- in -the -middle- of- the- tractor or snow plow tracks. Interesting opportunity, so I took it. Can you see it?
I can't take credit for this photo, although it was taken with my cameral. While Carol H. (not my mother, who is also Carol H.) was testing out the camera, she took this photo of her neighbor's tree, wrapped with bedsheets and duct tape. Apparently her neighbor didn't like all those branches, and talked a tree guy into cutting them off. It's not an art piece, either. Just a strange thing.
Here's the finished crop art piece in our front pasture by Stan Herd. Kevin Roberts, expert photographer, and salt-of-the earth person, sent this image to us. He was in the bucket lift and shot this from there. The image isn't really visible from the ground. Stan's expertise in creating these images to be seen from the air is amazing.
The sun came out this evening just for a little while. That is Stan Herd, the crop artist, and his film crew out by the Sycamore tree. Stan is creating an abstract earthwork. It is for a John Deere ad. I will post more photos of the work in progress. Stan is sitting on the mower. You can read more about him and his art at http://www.stanherdart.com/
Monsanto's development and marketing of genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone have destroyed my nostalgic-pastoral view of the fields around my town. Corn and soybeans seeds are 90% owned and controlled by Monsanto. It is headquartered in Missouri. I knew Mizzou was evil.
